Abstract
Functionalized prepolymers and biocompatible polymer networks are disclosed, especially biodegradable polymer networks obtainable by polymerization of the functionalized prepolymers by the example ultraviolet (UV), redox, and/or heat radical polymerization. Functionalized prepolymers (macromers) are obtainable by reaction of a prepolymer comprising at least one alcohol, amine, and/or sulfhydril group, with an unsaturated mono-esterified dicarbonic acid, especially fumanic acid mono-ethyl ester.
